When searching for the right contractor be sure to request references.
A professional contractor will have a track record of satisfied customers, be sure to request references from past and current jobs to ensure their reliability.
Confirm the following questions:
- has a WCB clearance letter, proof of liability insurance, and a valid business licence?
- has the contractor provided a timeline for the scope of work, and a payment schedule?
- has a work authorization form been signed between both parties outlining the work to be performed?
Lastly contact your local Better Business Bureau to ensure the contractor is a registered member and does not have a history of disputes with clients or subcontractors.
